See the examples for the height property.
border, height, vspace, width properties
Object. An image on an HTML form.
To define an image, use standard HTML syntax with the addition of JavaScript event handlers:
<IMG
[NAME="imageName"]
SRC="Location"
[LOWSRC="Location"]
[HEIGHT="Pixels"|"Value"%]
[WIDTH="Pixels"|"Value"%]
[HSPACE="Pixels"]
[VSPACE="Pixels"]
[BORDER="Pixels"]
[ALIGN="left"|"right"|
"top"|"absmiddle"|"absbottom"|
"texttop"|"middle"|"baseline"|"bottom"]
[ISMAP]
[USEMAP="#MapName"]
[onAbort="handlerText"]
[onError="handlerText"]
[onLoad="handlerText"]>
ISMAP specifies the image as a server-side image map.
imageName = new Image([width, height])
To use an Image object's properties:
1. imageName.propertyName
2. document.images[index].propertyName
3. formName.elements[index].propertyName
To define an event handler for an Image object created with the Image() constructor:
1. imageName.onabort = handlerFunction
2. imageName.onerror = handlerFunction
3. imageName.onload = handlerFunction
width is the image width, in pixels.
height is the image height, in pixels.
propertyName is one of the properties listed below.
The position and size of an image in a document are set when the document is displayed in Navigator and cannot be changed using JavaScript (the width and height properties are read-only). You can change which image is displayed by setting the src and lowsrc properties. (See the descriptions of src and lowsrc.)
Image objects do not have onClick, onMouseOut, and onMouseOver event handlers. However, if you define an Area object for the image or place the <IMG> tag within a Link object, you can use the Area or Link object's event handlers. See the Link object.
myImage = new Image()
myImage.src = "seaotter.gif"
...
document.images[0].src = myImage.src
1. document.images[index]
2. document.images.length
To obtain the number of images in a document, use the
length property: document.images.length.
The Image object has the following properties:
Note
The border, hspace, name, and vspace properties are not meaningful for images created with the Image() constructor.
The images array has the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| length | Reflects the number of images in a document |
<IMG NAME="aircraft" SRC="f15e.gif" ALIGN="left" VSPACE="10">

defaultSelected, selected, selectedIndex properties
stringName.indexOf(searchValue, [fromIndex])
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.
searchValue is a string or a property of an existing object, representing the value to search for.
If stringName contains an empty string (""), indexOf returns an empty string.
The indexOf method is case sensitive. For example, the following expression returns -1:
"Blue Whale".indexOf("blue")
var anyString="Brave new world"
//Displays 8
document.write("<P>The index of the first w from the beginning is " +
anyString.indexOf("w"))
//Displays 10
document.write("<P>The index of the first w from the end is " +
anyString.lastIndexOf("w"))
//Displays 6
document.write("<P>The index of 'new' from the beginning is " +
anyString.indexOf("new"))
//Displays 6
document.write("<P>The index of 'new' from the end is " +
anyString.lastIndexOf("new"))
myString="brie, pepper jack, cheddar"

charAt, lastIndexOf, split methods
Function. Evaluates an argument to determine if it is "NaN" (not a number).
isNaN(testValue)
testValue is the value you want to evaluate.
floatValue=parseFloat(toFloat)
if (isNaN(floatValue)) {
notFloat()
} else {
isFloat()
}
NaN property; parseFloat, parseInt functions
Method. Causes a string to be italic, as if it were in an <I> tag.
stringName.italics()
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.
The following example uses string methods to change the formatting of a string:
var worldString="Hello, world"
document.write(worldString.blink())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.bold())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.italics())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.strike())
The previous example produces the same output as the following HTML:
<BLINK>Hello, world</BLINK>
<P><B>Hello, world</B>
<P><I>Hello, world</I>
<P><STRIKE>Hello, world</STRIKE>
Method. Specifies whether Java is enabled.
navigator.javaEnabled()
The following code executes function1 if Java is enabled; otherwise it executes function2.
if (navigator.javaEnabled()) {
function1()
}
else function2()
appCodeName, appName, userAgent properties
Method. Joins all elements of an array into a string.
arrayName.join(separator)
arrayName is the name of an Array object or a property of an existing object.
The string conversion of all array elements are joined into one string.
a = new Array("Wind","Rain","Fire")
document.write(a.join() +"<BR>")
document.write(a.join(", ") +"<BR>")
document.write(a.join(" + ") +"<BR>")
This code produces the following output:
Wind,Rain,Fire
Wind, Rain, Fire
Wind + Rain + Fire
stringName.lastIndexOf(searchValue, [fromIndex])
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.
searchValue is a string or a property of an existing object, representing the value to search for.
The lastIndexOf method is case sensitive. For example, the following expression returns -1:
"Blue Whale, Killer Whale".lastIndexOf("blue")
The following example uses indexOf and lastIndexOf to locate values in the string "Brave new world."
var anyString="Brave new world"
//Displays 8
document.write("<P>The index of the first w from the beginning is " +
anyString.indexOf("w"))
//Displays 10
document.write("<P>The index of the first w from the end is " +
anyString.lastIndexOf("w"))
//Displays 6
document.write("<P>The index of 'new' from the beginning is " +
anyString.indexOf("new"))
//Displays 6
document.write("<P>The index of 'new' from the end is " +
anyString.lastIndexOf("new"))
charAt, indexOf, split methods
Property. A string representing the date that a document was last modified.
document.lastModified
lastmod = document.lastModified // get string of last modified date
lastmoddate = Date.parse(lastmod) // convert modified string to date
if(lastmoddate == 0){ // unknown date (or January 1,
// 1970 GMT)
document.writeln("Lastmodified: Unknown")
} else {
document.writeln("LastModified: " + lastmod)
}
lastModified is a read-only property.
document.write("This page updated on " + document.lastModified)
Property. An integer that specifies a length-related feature of the calling object or array.
1. formName.length
2. frameReference.length
3. history.length
4. radioName.length
5. selectName.length
6. stringName.length
7. windowReference.length
8. arrayName.length
When used with array properties:
9. anchors.length
10. applets.length
11. arguments.length
12. elements.length
13. embeds.length
14. forms.length
15. frames.length
16. history.length
17. images.length
18. links.length
19. mimeTypes.length
20. plugins.length
21. plugins[mimeTypeIndex].length
22. selectName.options.length
formName is either the name of a form or an element in the forms array.
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.
windowReference is a valid way of referring to a window, as described in the window object.
arrayName is the name of an Array object.
The length property is an integer that specifies one of the following:
For all objects except Array objects, length is always a read-only property.
For arrays, you can set the length property to truncate an array at any time. You cannot extend an array; for example, if you set length to 3 when it is currently 2, the array will still contain only 2 elements. For information on other ways to change the length of an array, see the Array object.
function getChoice() {
for (var i = 0; i < document.musicForm.musicType.length; i++) {
if (document.musicForm.musicType.options[i].selected == true) {
return document.musicForm.musicType.options[i].text
}
}
}
The following example displays 8 in an Alert dialog box:
var x="Netscape"
alert("The string length is " + x.length)
if (statesUS.length > 50) {
statesUS.length=50
alert("The U.S. has only 50 states. New length is " + statesUS.length)
}
Method. Creates an HTML hypertext link that requests another URL.
linkText.link(hrefAttribute)
Links created with the link method become elements in the links array. See the Link object for information about the links array.
var hotText="Netscape"
var URL="http://home.netscape.com"
document.write("Click to return to " + hotText.link(URL))
The previous example produces the same output as the following HTML:
Click to return to <A HREF="http://home.netscape.com">Netscape</A>
To define a link, use standard HTML syntax with the addition of JavaScript event handlers:
<A HREF=locationOrURL
[NAME="anchorName"]
[TARGET="windowName"]
[onClick="handlerText"]
[onMouseOut="handlerText"]>
[onMouseOver="handlerText"]>
linkText
</A>
You can also define a link using the link method.
To define an area, use standard HTML syntax with the addition of JavaScript event handlers:
<MAP NAME="mapName">
<AREA
[NAME="areaName"]
COORDS="x1,y1,x2,y2,..."|"x-center,y-center,radius"
HREF="locationOrURL"
[SHAPE="rect"|"poly"|"circle"|"default"]
[TARGET="windowName"]
[onMouseOut="handlerText"]
[onMouseOver="handlerText"]>
</MAP>
HREF=locationOrURL identifies a destination anchor or URL. For areas, any region of an image that does not have an HREF attribute does not function as a hyperlink. For areas, this attribute is required if you include the onMouseOut and onMouseOver event handlers. See the location object for a description of the URL components.
NAME="anchorName" is used only if the link is also an anchor. It specifies a name for the anchor that then becomes an available hypertext target within the current document. See the Anchor object for details.
linkText is the text or HTML source that the user sees as a hypertext link to the URL.
AREA defines an area of an image as an image map.
COORDS specifies the coordinates of the image map.
To use a Link or Area object's properties:
document.links[index].propertyName
propertyName is one of the properties listed below.
Each Link object is a location object and has the same properties as a location object.
For example, when a user clicks the following links, the slower and faster functions execute:
<A HREF="javascript:slower()">Slower</A>
<A HREF="javascript:faster()">Faster</A>
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)">Click here to do nothing</A>
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)">
<IMG SRC="images\globe.gif" ALIGN="top" HEIGHT="50" WIDTH="50">
</A>
Area objects are in the links array. You
cannot refer to an Area object by name; you must use the links
array. For example, if a document contains three Area objects, these
objects are reflected as document.links[0],
document.links[1], and document.links[2]. For
information on the links array, see "The links
array".
<MAP NAME="worldMap">
<AREA NAME="topWorld" COORDS="0,0,50,25" HREF="javascript:onTop()"

</MAP>
1. document.links[index]
2. document.links.length
To obtain the number of links in a document, use the
length property: document.links.length.
The Area and Link objects have the following properties:
The links array has the following property:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| length | Reflects the number of links in a document |
Area objects have the following event handlers:
Link objects have the following event handlers:
Example 1. The following example creates a hypertext link to an anchor named javascript_intro:
<A HREF="#javascript_intro">Introduction to JavaScript</A>
<LI><A HREF=doc3.html#numbers TARGET="window2">Numbers</A>
Example 3. The following example takes the user back x entries in the history list:

Example 6: Area object with onMouseOver and onMouseOut
event handlers. The following example displays an image,
globe.gif. The image uses an image map that defines areas for
the top half and the bottom half of the image. The onMouseOver and onMouseOut
event handlers display different status bar messages depending on whether
the mouse passes over or leaves the top half or bottom half of the image.
The HREF attribute is required when using the onMouseOver and onMouseOut
event handlers, but in this example the image does not need a hypertext link,
so the HREF attribute executes javascript:void(0), which does
nothing (see "void" for more information).

Property. A string specifying the color of the document hyperlinks.
document.linkColor
The linkColor property is expressed as a hexadecimal RGB triplet or as one of the string literals listed in "Color values". This property is the JavaScript reflection of the LINK attribute of the <BODY> tag. The default value of this property is set by the user on the Colors tab of the Preferences dialog box, which is displayed by choosing General Preferences from the Options menu. You cannot set this property after the HTML source has been through layout.
The following example sets the color of document links to aqua using a string literal:
document.linkColor="aqua"
The following example sets the color of document links to aqua using a hexadecimal triplet:
document.linkColor="00FFFF"
